[00:15.23]If its just to top a song chart
[00:19.21]To feed the kids and get a bigger car
[00:23.18]The skies already have a lot of stars
[00:27.23]And they all sing Your name
[00:30.00]
[00:31.24]And if I'm here to write a #1
[00:35.14]To get a gold or maybe platinum
[00:39.14]Make me a singer who is unsung
[00:43.14]Cuz You won't share fame
[00:45.86]
[00:47.24]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away
[00:52.65]Oh just like me
[00:56.20]Yes everything but You, yeah
[01:03.28]And many years from now it won't matter
[01:08.28]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah
[01:12.78]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
[01:17.70]
[01:19.39]I'm always looking for the limelight
[01:23.23]To dim my house and make the stages bright
[01:27.19]Compared to You I'm just a night light
[01:31.22]Against the blazing sun
[01:34.05]
[01:35.17]I enter rooms and hope they notice me
[01:39.18]To fill my social insecurities
[01:43.21]I'm asking if there's any hope for me
[01:47.07]Cuz there is room for only one
[01:49.93]
[01:51.32]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away
[01:56.68]Oh just like me
[02:00.53]Yes everything but You, yeah
[02:07.30]And many years from now it won't matter
[02:12.32]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah
[02:16.97]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
[02:23.76]
[02:25.00]Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
[02:29.30]Is simply common sense to have?
[02:32.70]Maybe success is measured best
[02:35.68]By nothing less then our obedience
[02:41.42]
[02:59.27]So if I'm destined for a small stage
[03:03.21]The small crowds and the small pay
[03:07.08]Then maybe even in a small way 
[03:11.41]I can bring You fame
[03:15.13]
[03:15.59]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away
[03:20.67]Oh just like me
[03:24.47]Yes everything but You, yeah
[03:31.41]And many years from now it won't matter
[03:36.35]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah
[03:40.90]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
[03:48.00]
[03:48.76]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
[04:00.93]
